”San Sui” (Japanese for “House on the Hill”) was the winter residence of Bela Hubbard and his son Henry G. Hubbard of Grosse Point, MI. A unique mix of Queen Anne and Shingle styles, it was recognized as “perhaps the finest residence of this period in the state” when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The original forest of cypress and other native trees became a garden of exotic plants collected during the worldwide travels of the younger Hubbard, who was a pioneering research scientist in the field of citrus.

Overlooking Crescent Lake, the home was accessed by steamboat or by a carriage lane meandering through the gardens to Summit Street. San Sui was purchased by George and Molly Morris in 1987, who lived in the home while restoring it to its original grandeur.
